[B] [Bm]
My daddy was a preacher.
Don't hold it against me.
What that essentially means is that I have a very deep rooted sense of guilt.
[B] But basically my father would [F#m] have given me lots of advice over the [Bm] years.
And this is a song based on the advice that he gave me many many times.
And he's long since gone now but [F#] every now and then [B] I hear this advice whispered [Bm] from beyond.
Never more [B] so than the other week I was up in [Bm] Scotland where I live now.
And I was trying to ingratiate myself with the locals.
And I had them all round for a barbecue and I was on my best behaviour.
I swore to myself that I wouldn't drink until after midnight.
I broke that covenant.
To cut a long story short it was a very good night.
It was a very good night and everybody was happy.
And I thought everything was going well.
But then I [E] woke up at 4 o'clock the next morning in the neighbours car covered in glass wearing nothing but a sombrero and flippers.
[F#] What [Bm]
do you do?
And I heard my father whisper these words.
[F#] [C#m]
[G] [B] [Bm]
[F#] [Bm]
[F#] [Bm]
When [F#] the wind [Bm]
[F#m] [Bm] starts to blow, [F#]
[Bm] let [F#] it blow right [Bm] through your soul.
When the [Em] fire [Am] burns in the [Bm] night, [C#] when the fire [F#] [F#m] burns [Bm] in the night, [F#m] when [Em] the fire [Bm] burns in the night, [F#] let it burn till you are refined.
You [A] gotta [Bm] walk the narrow road, [F#] you gotta walk [Bm] the narrow road, you gotta walk the narrow road [F#] for you'll find [Bm] a home.
[F#m] [A] [Bm]
[F#m] [F#] [Bm]
[G] [Bm]
[F#m] [F#] [E] [Bm] [C#m] [D] Go [Em] on let the blood get in your [Bm] eyes my son, go on let [F#] the blood get in [Bm] your eyes.
[F#] [B] [C#] Go on [Em] let the blood get in your [Bm] eyes.
You'll see [F#]
better by day and by night.
[A] You [Bm] gotta walk [B] the narrow road, you [F#] gotta walk [Bm] the narrow road, you gotta walk the narrow road [F#] for you'll find your way [Bm] back home.
For [F#] you'll find your way back [Bm] home.
[F#] For you'll find your way back.
[Bm]
Keep on [B] walking
[Bm] the
[B] narrow road.
[Bm] Keep on walking the narrow [F#m] [F#]
[Bm]
road.
